Big Donors Revealed

(Updated with major donor lists.) Mayoral candidate Toni Harp raised a whopping $176,082 in the last two months — and spent it just as fast.

Harp, a state senator, has pulled ahead in the money race, according to the latest campaign finance disclosures in the New Haven mayor’s race.

Tuesday marked the deadline for the latest campaign finance filings. The four mayoral candidates—Kermit Carolina, Justin Elicker, Henry Fernandez, and Harp—are required to disclose who gave to their campaign in the last two months, and how much they gave.

The financial filings offer a chance to assess the relative strength of the campaigns, and whence they’re drawing support. They show the size of the war chests and how they’re being filled.

The last filing deadline was July 10. Click here for an analysis of that data dump.

Harp outpaced Elicker and Carolina by wide margins. She and Fernandez are far closer in the money race.

Elicker raised $30,000 in July and August. Kermit raised only $5,260.

Fernandez, who had raised the most money by July 10, said his campaign has raised a total of $265,361 so far, including donations from before July. The Harp campaign is up to $287,413 in year-to-date donations.

Harp

The Harp campaign has been spending money faster than it’s been raising it. During July and August the campaign raised $176,082 and spent $216,253. At the end of the reporting period, her campaign had $33,946 on hand.

Carolina

Carolina, principal of Hillhouse High, is one of two candidates participating in the Democracy Fund, the city’s public campaign financing program. He and Elicker, the other participant, are restricted from taking PAC money and from taking contributions of more than $370. The fund allows them to access grants and matching funds for their campaigns.

The Carolina campaign raised only $5,260 in July and August, putting the candidate in fourth place in the money race. Carolina occupied that position after the July financial disclosures, too. He raised $33,435 by July 10. The money raised in July and August brings the total to about $39,000, not including additional money from the Democracy Fund.

The money Carolina raised in July and August came from 149 donors, 144 of whom live in New Haven. The vast majority came in small donations: 136 of the 144 were in amounts of $25 or less. Only four people contributed $370, the maximum permissible amount for Democracy Fund candidates.
